Almost holiday for me. I just hope the weather improves, because the way it's going now, I'll be needing a submarine instead of a motorcycle.

Sandwiched between yesterday's Tour de France arriving 5 meters from my house and Tuesday's national holiday (Bastille Day), it's been a busy week with parties, and more important, preparing for the parties.

Going through a major heat wave here when even riding my motorcycle was too hot. Sweating on the bike is no fun, and I refuse to ride without protective gear. With temperatures over 40°C, it's HOT.

Strange pre-summer days, one day it's hot, the other is freezing. So to bring order to the world, I am now suffering from a very bad flu.

With a lot of travelling and when at home, lots of work being done on our new home, I barely have time to look at the motorcycle, let alone ride it. It looks so lonely out there in the garage, and that while the riding weather is near perfect. But sitting in trains, planes and automobiles gives me the chance to catch up on my reading. Here are a few interesting articles that you may have missed over the last week.

#Crowd-Funding #GreatProjects - Lots of crowd-funding projects out there, but few are deserving. But now we have two that merit at the least your attention, and at best, your money: 1.

This is a volume buying deal to make the book price affordable. 2. MotoMatters is the top MotoGP/World Superbike web site that gives you the very best analysis and coverage of the top motorcycle races. To be able to continue covering these races, David Emmett requires funds to attend these far away races, and his is running out of money.

We're into April now, and I hope you all escaped unscathed any April Fool jokes played on you, but if you didn't, let's hope they were epic.

But I've been reading a lot of article over the week, so here are a few you may have missed.

I guess the motorcycle season is in full swing now, with better riding conditions that a week or so ago. Over here the sun is shining almost every day, but it's still cold.

Here are a bunch of interesting articles that I have been reading over the last week that may interest you.

Not exactly motorcycle riding weather at this moment. Time to read more articles on the internet. Here are a couple that you may have missed over the last week.

Last week of November, it still feels like end of summer, and I'm still struggling to get my site back on track. Loss of readers, loss of ad revenue ... not looking good. More news to follow shortly. In the mean time here are some motorcycle related articles that you may have missed over the last week.

Getting colder, much colder, and I'm not only talking about my site's traffic. It's getting so cold I need to put on deep winter clothes when riding my motorcycle. Time to start reading more internet stories. Here are a couple that appeared over the last 7 days that you may have missed.

Busy week with a personal house move and a very long search on why my visitor traffic suddenly dropped by 90%. I am bleeding, and can not last for very much long. There seems to be no answer to what is happening. But despite all the issues, I read some interesting motorcycle related articles that you may have missed. Here are some of this week.

- The 5 Best Bikes From The 2014 Eicma Motorcycle Show (Biser3A)
- When Is Much Too Much (Motorcycle Blog From Jafrum)
- Early Women Motorcycle Stunters (Moto Lady)
- 25 M.P.H. Speed Limit Takes Effect in New York (New York Times)

#Website #Crowd-Helping - I am at a loss. A great loss. Starting on the 3rd of November, this site suddenly lost 80 to 90% of its readers. Before I was running in the millions of pages served, now I only serve a few hundred per day.

I've contacted every organization that could be involved in this sudden drop, but so far, no one has come up with an answer. One thing we do know, it's not a DNS issue, nor a hosting issue. When you enter the URL of this site, you are brought there as would be expected.

This is killing the site, since no readers means no revenue means that the site will have to fold since I need to pay the hosting company, electricity, internet access etc.

I'm at a loss, and if you are in the business, maybe you can see what others have missed. Is there some hijacking going on? Some blacklist somewhere?

Please, please let me know what you think might be the problem. I would hate to have to close down the site after so many years.

That was a very disappointing week; falling sick while on my way to Eicma, having to turn back and stay in my sickbed for the rest of the week. While you read this, I'm under the blankets taking my medication. Damn. But at least I was able to read interesting motorcycle articles, which I would like to share with you.

This is so strange that it's got to be true. In one region in France, the Var region, the Gendarmerie (the national police) have a Facebook page. So far, not so unusual, though you do not find many regional police forces with one. But what's really interesting is that they've started announcing their speed radar traps on their Facebook page.

What they've said in their last posting, that "they'll pay a particular attention to the RN7 road, where there have been several incidents over the last 15 days"...........

Summer is here, or so they tell me. I spent more reading the internet than actually riding, since it's raining the whole time. Here are some interesting motorcycle related articles you may have missed.

A week's worth of reading motorcycle articles on the internet, and this is what I came up with that may be of interest to you.

There are lots of sites out there that have route descriptions for great motorcycle rides, almost all using crowdsourcing. But here's a site that will tell you very well where to ride in Northern California, and all the rides have been created by several knowledgeable local "guides".

The site, MotoSFO, was created under the leadership of Carla King, well known adventure rider and author. Together with several other, mostly female, bikers she's put together a comprehensive database of routes to put your motorcycle on when you are in Northern California.

The itineraries are not some generic database, but a well laid out travelogue of the route. There are the inescapable Google Maps with the actual route, but also the recommended restaurants and hotels/B&Bs.

It wasn't all BMW erect penis and Japanese Harley-Davidson swimming the Pacific ocean, there were other motorcycle stories doing the rounds of the internet during the last 7 days. Here are some interesting ones.

The French manufacturer of electric trial motorcycles, Electric Motion, has a new website. The company got in the news recently because the first backflip accomplished with an electric motorcycle was done on their bike, an EM 5.7.

Despite having only one product, they have a busy web site. Unfortunately, the site is in French only.

The EM 5.7 electric trial bike has already started in the competition circuits. The bike itself has 14 hp and 22 Nm torque for 72 kilos. The motorcycle can get you up to a speed of 55 kph, more than enough for this sport category. The battery will last 40 to 180 minutes, again enough to compete in trial competitions. The brushless engine is air cooled.

After all the excitement of the April fool jokes, here are some interesting motorcycle articles that have appeared over the last week or so that you may like.

There are many web sites out there that publish motorcycle articles; news, entertainment, reviews, etc. You'll find them in every country, and in every language. But here's a web site that is different. It doesn't publish articles reviewing the latest motorcycle color of the IZJH-873B model, nor does it publish anything about which midget racer won which 10cc motorcycle race in Tibet.

No, this web site publishes stories. You know, stories like what you might find in magazines or books. The site, Bikesnadbuddies, is new, but they are planning to publish stories, fiction or not, about life on the road, motorcycles, friends & family. They've got two stories up, and they are worth the read.

They've got several writers (one of them being Gilby Clarke, the former guitarist for Guns 'n Roses) lined up to make the short stories, so watch their space. You can sign up for a newsletter that will give you their latest stories. They plan to publish a new story every 4 weeks.

Reading the stories already published on their site, they are well written, easy to read and fun.

Well, come and get it... here are some motorcycle related articles that have appeared over the last week that you may have missed...

French/Swiss company Pneus-Online are going for world domination. They sell motorcycle tires on-line for less money than at garages, and they have an enormous network of garages and mobile workshops that will fit your tires for you.

They are all over Europe (15,500 garages), Canada, shortly in the USA and Brazil, and more countries coming.

The proposed bill in the USA, called SOPA, is the biggest threat to the internet which we have seen since the internet started. SOPA will allow companies to shutdown websites, like this one, without a proper and legal due process. Targeted sites will not be able to defend themselves, and you will see many sites disappear.

You can do something about it! Whether you live in the USA, or in another country, here is how to act, and here is what you can do! #SOPASTRIKE Stop #SOPA
